Development And Test Analysis Of Borehole In-Situ Rock Mass Shear Measurement System, Zhang Youzhen, Liu Yanjie, Zhong Zicheng
Development And Test Analysis Of Borehole In-Situ Rock Mass Shear Measurement System, Zhang Youzhen, Liu Yanjie, Zhong Zicheng
Coal Geology & Exploration
The pre-drilled rock shear measurement system can measure the internal friction angle and cohesion of in-situ rock in mines. Compared with the traditional laboratory test and field tests, such method can keep the essential state of rock mass to the maximum extent, and obtain the test data conveniently and quickly. Firstly, the overall design idea of the system was elaborated, and the pre-drilled in-situ rock shear equipment was successfully developed and the data acquisition and storage software platform was built. Secondly, the test data processing method was developed, based on the working principle of the shearing instrument, and the specific …
Influence Of Internal Friction Angle On Damage Constitutive Model Of Freeze-Thaw Rock, Yuan Chao, Zhang Huimei, Meng Xiangzhen, Yang Gengshe, Wu Luyuan
Influence Of Internal Friction Angle On Damage Constitutive Model Of Freeze-Thaw Rock, Yuan Chao, Zhang Huimei, Meng Xiangzhen, Yang Gengshe, Wu Luyuan
Coal Geology & Exploration
Based on Weibull random distribution and damage mechanics theory, starting from the characteristics of rock deformation process, the Drucker-Prager criterion was used to establish a damage constitutive model that can reflect the characteristics of rock various deformation stages. Through the conventional triaxial compression test of frozen-thawed sandstone, the Mohr stress circle was used to obtain the cohesion and internal friction angle of the sandstone under different freeze-thaw cycles. The model theoretical curve and the test curve of freeze-thaw sandstone were compared to verify the model rationality. By varying the internal friction angle, whether the friction angle has an effect on …
Effect Of Clay Content On Shear Strength Of Loess, Wang Li, Li Xi'an, Hong Bo, Du Shaoshao, Zhang Hangbo, Zhao Ning
Effect Of Clay Content On Shear Strength Of Loess, Wang Li, Li Xi'an, Hong Bo, Du Shaoshao, Zhang Hangbo, Zhao Ning
Coal Geology & Exploration
The experimental research about effect of different clay content on shear strength of loess was carried out to reveal the influence of clay content on shear strength and its microscopic mechanism, and then a scientific basis for engineering practice of loess was provided. Self-made wet sieve device under negative pressure was applied to screen loess samples with different clay content. Different clay content of the loess samples were made to the same dry density, but with different moisture content using static pressure method, and then were taken direct shear test. The results show that with the increase of moisture content, …
Use Of Laboratory Geophysical And Geotechnical Investigation Methods To Characterize Gypsum Rich Soils, Raghava A. Bhamidipati
Use Of Laboratory Geophysical And Geotechnical Investigation Methods To Characterize Gypsum Rich Soils, Raghava A. Bhamidipati
Theses and Dissertations--Civil Engineering
Gypsum rich soils are found in many parts of the world, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Most gypsum occurs in the form of evaporites, which are minerals that precipitate out of water due to a high rate of evaporation and a high mineral concentration. Gypsum rich soils make good foundation material under dry conditions but pose major engineering hazards when exposed to water. Gypsum acts as a weak cementing material and has a moderate solubility of about 2.5 g/liter. The dissolution of gypsum causes the soils to undergo unpredictable collapse settlement leading to severe structural damages. The damages incur …
